Top Premier League clubs keen on Atalanta star Scalvini

Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini could continue his career in the Premier League after several elite English clubs set their sights on him. According to TeamTalk viaCalciomercato, the 22-year-old could follow in the footsteps of Honest Ahanor, who moved to England in the summer.

Just one season after joining Atalanta from Genoa in a deal worth around €20 million, including add-ons, Ahanor left Bergamo for a season-long loan at Crystal Palace on deadline day. Scalvini could follow a similar career path, although La Dea are likely to sell one of their most prized assets for a much higher figure.

Widely regarded as one of the most talented defenders in Serie A, Scalvini has less than two years left to run on his contract at the New Balance Arena. Meanwhile, Inter, Juventus, and Milan have all been keeping close tabs on the Atalanta starlet for years,with the Rossoneri even making a formal approach in the summer.

However, Scalvini's future could be far away from his homeland. Our Take on Atalanta, Scalvini & Premier League Next summer could be Atalanta's last chance to cash in on the Italian center-back, who has started all five league matches this term.

La Dea's €40m asking price proved too steep for Milan in the summer, but such demands are unlikely to deter wealthy Premier League clubs from pursuing Scalvini. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur have all shown interest in the Chiari native.

It's uncertain what the future holds for Scalvini, but there's little doubt that Atalanta will do everything they can to keep him at the club as long as possible.
